After WWE NXT went off the air, fans got an intimate look at Shotzi as she reflected on her monumental win during a backstage interview. Clearly emotional, the fan-favorite star opened up about her journey back to the ring after a long absence.
Well first of all, that was my first singles match in almost a year, Shotzi said, her voice trembling. Sorry, its just been a long journey to get back into the ring, and I feel like that match really set the tone for my 2025.
Shotzi didnt hold back when addressing Fallon Henley, the reigning NXT Womens North American Champion. I didnt need Fallons help to win that match, but I think she proved how much of a chicken she really is, and Im about to prove how ballsy Shotzi is, she declared with fire in her voice.
Earlier in the night, Shotzi faced Stephanie Vaquer in a hard-fought #1 Contenders match for the NXT Womens North American Championship. The two competitors put on a back-and-forth battle, with neither giving an inch. Shotzi wowed fans with a hurricanrana off the top rope, but the match turned chaotic when Jacy Jayne interfered, getting pulled into the ring and taking punishment from both competitors.
The turning point came when Fallon Henley, the reigning champion, blindsided Vaquer by hitting her with the title belt. This allowed Shotzi to capitalize and secure the win, though she made it clear in her post-match interview that she didnt need the champions interference to get the job done.
Shotzis raw emotion and fiery determination backstage show just how much this win meant to herand shes not holding back as she gears up for her showdown with Fallon Henley. With her eyes set on proving shes as ballsy as ever, the road to Atlanta is shaping up to be one fans wont want to miss.
